Why Himalayan balsam is a problem in Monmouth
On Monmouth properties, Himalayan balsam fires seed up to seven metres, smothers native bankside vegetation and leaves bare soil that erodes into watercourses each winter. Monmouth sits at the meeting of the Wye and Monnow, whose floodplain and former railway cuttings keep knotweed active on the town's rural edges and along the disused Wye Valley line.
